Butterbean_Canary 0 Posted June 7, 2010 Sorry if this has already been mentioned on a different thread but I could not find anyone saying the similar....Does anyone else think that Fox has been brought in as cover/competition for Wes''s role just behind the front two in the diamond?From all the reports on his style of play (good passer, a bit lightweight, wont put in to many tackles etc) it sounds to me as though he could slip in for Wes and allow a more defensive midfielder sit behind him in the diamond formation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted June 7, 2010 Yeah, he does seem like a similar kind of player, from what I have read.Maybe we should be starting "Hoolahan on his way" rumours lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted June 7, 2010 Completely different player, he doesn''t take people on and is more of a spreader of play, in the same way Clingan was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But even so with his passing ability he could probably do a job there in Wes''s absence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spote - a latin American term referring to the female genetalia. As said elsewhere on this thread, probably will be playing in that unnamed position just behind the strikers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
